Changed line(s) 9,10 (click to see context) from:
For the past sixty years, an alien named Paul (voiced by Creator/SethRogen) has been hanging out at a [[Area51 top-secret military base]] in the southwestern U.S. For reasons unknown, the space-traveling smart-aleck decides to escape the compound and hop on the first vehicle out of town—a rented RV containing Earthlings Graeme Willy (Pegg) and Clive Gollings (Frost), two British geeks on their way to a comic convention. Chased by a trio of [[TheMenInBlack federal agents]] (Creator/BillHader, Creator/JasonBateman and Creator/JoeLoTruglio) and the [[OverprotectiveDad fanatical father]] (Creator/JohnCarrollLynch) of the one-eyed young [[ReligiousStereotype fundamentalist Christian]] woman (Creator/KristenWiig) whom they [[AccidentalKidnapping accidentally kidnap]], Graeme and Clive hatch a fumbling escape plan to return Paul to his mother ship. And as two nerds struggle to help, one [[TheGreys little grey man]] might just take his fellow outcasts from misfits to intergalactic heroes.
